[Dovecot] dsync / separator / namespace config-problem

[Jan-Frode Myklebust]

Guess I don't quite get namespaces, but we have the following namespace
configured:

	$ doveconf namespace
	namespace {
  		hidden = no
  		inbox = yes
  		list = yes
  		location = 
  		prefix = INBOX.
  		separator = 
  		subscriptions = yes
  		type = private
	}

But when I try running dsync it complains:

	$ sudo -u atmail dsync   -u janfrode at tanso.net mirror mdbox:/tmp/janfrodeboks
	dsync(atmail): Error: user janfrode at tanso.net: Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: list=yes requires prefix=INBOX. to end with separator dsync(atmail): Fatal: User init failed

I can fix this by adding "separator = ." to the namespace and dsync is
happy, but is changing this now safe, or will this affect existing clients?
